Psychotherapy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Psychotherapy is a process of professional support in which a person works, through dialogue and specific techniques, on their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to improve their well-being. It is not exclusive to those going through a crisis: it also helps people understand themselves better and cope with times of change.
What it can help with:
- Managing anxiety, stress, or sadness
- Improving relationships and ways of communicating
- Supporting grief, transitions, or important decisions
How it works: It is based on regular sessions in a confidential space, with approaches that adapt to each person's needs.
Who provides it? The psychologist, the psychotherapist, and the psychiatrist offer different approaches depending on the situation. If you feel that talking with a professional could help you, taking that step is a way of caring for your mental health.
